I have completed two Hindi intensives at Zabaan and I have to say that this school is amazing. The knowledge of Hindi grammar, sentence structure, script, tenses, etc. from every teacher is impeccable. They are truly grammartarians. The progressive order of learning grammar sets a solid foundation for understanding the language. My reading, writing, spelling, and speaking has vastly improved.It is very apparent that the teachers are well experienced not only in grammar knowledge but being able to effectively teach it. The way that they drill on speaking while teaching the grammar stretches you to learn and solidify the information. They cannot be stumped by a question. They balance answering questions and moving through the content beautifully.The professionalism is top notch, the facilities are some of the best I have seen in Delhi, and the hand cooked lunches and chai/coffee are so good.I highly recommend Zabaan for anyone serious about learning languages.David H.

I completed the 8 hours Urdu script course from Zabaan recently. It was an efficient and quick way of learning the script. My tutor, Ms Vartika Pande, was very good. She made the course both knowledgeable and fun and I thoroughly enjoyed learning the script from her. Being an online course, one can learn from the comfort of their homes instead of having to travel to a centre. I would highly recommend the course as well as my tutor for anyone wanting to learn this beautiful script.

I highly recommend the Hindi language courses at Zabaan! Yesterday I finished the Conversational Hindi course that was really useful and interesting! I was looking for a course that was focused on conversation because I had already studied Hindi at university, and this course was perfect for me! In addition to conversation, of course we also studied basic and important grammatical concepts. Vartika has always been very clear, professional, friendly, always ready to answer to our questions, ready to solve our doubts and able to create fun and useful educational activities at the same time. Bahot shukriya Vartika and Zabaan School! I hope I can join you again for another interesting course! Greetings from Italy!

Vartika
Vartika is a Hindi and Urdu language instructor. She was born and raised in Lucknow. She went on to pursue her degree in Political Science from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, DU. Having previously worked in the Public Policy sector, and being a politics enthusiast, the politicisation of the two languages (Hindi and Urdu) interests her. And being Lucknowi only makes her more passionate about deconstructing the nuances to bring out the differences and similarities between the two languages. Vartika started teaching at Zabaan in 2019.
